Introducing the new Orca 2022 triathlon wetsuit range
Welcome to the (r)evolution
In readiness for the 2022 season, Orca have re-engineered their triathlon wetsuit range. The brand new Apex or Athlex wetsuit collection allows the triathlete to choose their ideal wetsuit based on flexibility, buoyancy or a combination of both. The new range is designed to suit every swim style and budget.
Discover the Orca Apex and Athlex Collection
Apex Collection
Designed for the athlete who aims to get out of the water first, who pushes the swim limits, wants to achieve maximum performance and save seconds with every stroke. With the latest technology, this range will help those athletes looking to reach their apex performance in the water.
Athlex Collection
The Athlex is the perfect range for those looking to begin or progress their swim. These suits are comfortable and versatile with the best technical value per price point. Turn energy into momentum - strengthen your body and mind with each stroke and make the most of your swim.
Orca’s highly-technical swimwear gives you the confidence in the water to perform at your peak. Feeling at home in the water, whether you’re competing in a triathlon or enjoying a leisurely open water swim, is at the heart of the Orca brand. So in re-engineering the Apex and Athlex range Orca concentrated on three key points of difference to meet the needs of swimmers.
These three areas can be categorised as Flow, Flex and Float. Because all swimmers are different, the new collection offers wetsuits to suit every swim style and budget so that every athlete’s individual needs can be met. As always, Orca is made by triathletes, for triathletes.
Let’s take a look at the key attributes of Flow, Flex and Float collection
Flex Wetsuits
The Orca Flex range provides maximum flexibility and is specifically designed for the more confident swimmer who is able to maintain a correct position in the water and stay horizontal and elevated.
Apex Flex - A swimmer or triathlete who needs/wants as much flexibility and speed as possible
Athlex Flex - Someone who has some swimming experience and looking for comfort and flexibility
Apex Flex = Alpha Athex Flex = Equip
Flow Wetsuits
The “flow” range combines buoyancy and flexibility, and helps to raise the swimmer’s legs in the water to achieve a more effective horizontal posture.
Apex Flow - A triathlete looking to save time and energy in the swim to put them in the best position on the bike and to aim for the podium.
Athlex Flow - Someone who is looking for the perfect balance between buoyancy, flexibility and technical features. While not spending too much
Apex Flow = Predator Athlex Flow = Sonar
Float Wetsuits
The Float collection is ideal for those who are just starting out in triathlon or swimming. This solution is for swimmers who are not completely comfortable in the water providing a balance between flexibility and buoyancy
Apex Float - A triathlete looking for the most support in the water, trying to save their legs for the bike/run and overall performance
Athlex Float - Beginners who needs as much support with their swimming and considering expenditure
Apex Float = 3:8Athlex Float = S7
